After having her car coast to the finish line in the opening session of
qualifying, Will covered the Infineon Raceway quarter-mile in 4.626
seconds at 320.81 mph, good for the No. 7 position at the end of
Friday's second session.

She continued to show improvement on Saturday, running an elapsed time of
4.604 seconds in Saturday's first session and improving that number
by running a 4.597-second pass in the final session.

"We showed improvement session by session during qualifying,"
said the 26-year-old Will. "If we can continue that trend through
four rounds of eliminations tomorrow, we'll be happy."

Tomorrow's first round opponent for Will is Melanie Troxel.
Troxel's best pass of her four qualifying runs was a 4.608 seconds
pass, good for 10th position.
